On Thursday, Dischord Records, the label founded by MacKaye in 1980, launched the Fugazi Live Series: an online archive of 800-plus live recordings from the band's collection, to be released in installments.

Mrs Cameron also had no trouble flying the flag when she officially launched London Fashion Week, at Somerset House, this morning, cannily mixing a dress by the highly-profitable British heritage brand, Mulberry, with a jacket by Sykes - the label founded by the young designer, Joanna Sykes, who has since gone on to be the design director of the old-established British label, Aquascutum - and shoes by L.K.Bennett.
